The fantastic crew especially Heri ❤️ who is absolutely outstanding as an informative tour guide, an excellent photographer whose expertise makes the difference. He is a beautiful person. He positioned me, directed me to a good pose up on the summit of Padar Island to get THE best, the most magnificent photo of my 1 month trip. I felt confident in his presence snorkelling after an unsafe snorkelling experience off Gili T where we were dropped into a current that took us >200m from the boat in a minute & had to get back by ourselves swimming against the current. We are both Aussies that grew up swimming, surfing & snorkelling we are strong swimmers but gee that was a very difficult, arduous & long swim to get back to the boat. Alexandria Cruises are by far much better, safe & come with you. I never once felt unsafe or in trouble with them. It was just a wonderful magnificent experience. The whole glorious trip is still looping in my mind like a video on constant play. I absolutely adored this trip. It was my birthday gift to myself & I’ve never ever had as good nor memorable birthday as this one. I appreciated the information by all Tour guides it was very informative complete & thorough. The whole experience by Alexandria Cruise crew made the day a remarkable & outstanding one. Getting to Padar Island, the first stop just after sunrise was excellent as the first group were starting to come down & it wasn’t crowded for our group. There were not strangers in my photos. Heri captured the best photos for me which I will cherish & I appreciate because I was alone in this tour group. I was grateful that I was coming down as the sun was blazing because it was very hot no breeze until position five the second last one. I had cold water so I could splash it on myself to keep cool that it made it much easier. I can’t recommend Alexandria Cruises more highly & it’s their crew that make it great. We had no idea, no recommendations we booked this cruise blindly & I’m really happy that we lucked out getting this cruise group not any of the others that were coming along behind us in the blazing heat not all of them would’ve made it to the summit of Padar Island. The Komodo Island the pink sand was amazing. The aqua colour of the water crystal clear was magnificent. Another highlight was we met Komodo dragons., I was able to get a photo with one, I think they came out for my birthday to appease me, we saw 4 & I am delighted. Snorkelling with the Mantas was fantastic. I have done this off Nusa Lembongan years ago but this was much better, not even close! I loved the simple touches like Heri giving me a coconut water & coffee as my birthday gift 💝 These memories I will cherish. I enjoyed my birthday in exceptional surroundings with magnificent experiences & lovely people, thank you. The whole day was just divine. I can’t recommend Alexandria cruises more highly. ❤️🤩❤️

We booked our Bali day trip to Nusa Penida through Seek Sophie while staying in Seminyak in October and were really impressed with how smooth everything was. The team organised our hotel pick up and drop off as well as our return boat ride, which made the whole experience completely hassle free. Once on Nusa Penida, we had a private car with our guide Wayan. He was warm, knowledgeable, and made sure we saw the best spots without feeling rushed. The standout for us was Tembeling Beach with its nature pool and forest, which felt like a hidden gem. We also visited Diamond Beach, a seaweed farm, and the incredible Goa Giri Putri Temple cave. It was a full, beautifully organised day and a great option for couples wanting an easy and memorable way to explore Nusa Penida. Highly recommend.

Talk about a fun and unique tour!! It was such a great blend of mellow bicycling, yummy food, and learning more about Balinese culture and traditions. I even came out of the experience knowing more about firefly conservation- unexpected but a cool addition. Dui was a fantastic guide, Dude was a phenomenal photographer (some footage we will be laughing at for a long time), and Obi, our driver, was punctual and safe. We felt very well looked after from start to finish. 1000% would do again.

We loved walking through the plantation and learning about the harvesting process. It was also very cool to be able to see, smell, and taste the difference between Natural, Black Honey, and Full Washed arabica beans grown on-site. They have Luwak coffee available to drink for an extra fee but it is worth it! The entire Bali Beans team is very attentive and friendly. Will be stopping by anytime I’m in the area. :)

We picked the Seeking Sophie day trip, and it was such an incredible experience! Everything went smoothly, starting with prompt and helpful communication through WhatsApp and the pickup right from the resort lobby. Our guide took the time to walk us through our day's itinerary, covering the do's and don'ts along with safety tips. There was plenty of cold water, bananas, and snacks available on board. The small group of just 9 people made the whole experience way more enjoyable. We quickly bonded and shared lots of sightings and laughs together. The timing of our departure was perfect, helping us dodge crowds at every stop, which made it easy to snap those Instagram-worthy photos. We saw everything from Komodo dragons to island deer and wild boar in their natural habitats, along with black-tipped sharks, sea turtles, and stunning manta rays that will be etched in our memories forever. The crew was fantastic, providing extra help to those who needed it and sharing a wealth of information. We're really grateful we chose Seeking Sophie. Big thanks to you and your team!
